Now she\u2019s using her difficult childhood as inspiration for a game called <em>Child No More<\/em> where you play as a young child fleeing a war zone in a fictional European town.<\/p>\n<p>Joining a trend of games that allows players to empathize with characters as they make difficult moral choices, <em>Child No More<\/em> walks players through grueling decisions as they attempt to save the child Arya from the atrocities of war. Are they able to \u00a0protect Arya from the realities of war and save her innocence or let her see the horrors, changing her life forever?<\/p>\n<p>Another game, <em>The Channeler<\/em>, uses the Tobii EyeX eye tracker, which allows the players to use their eyes as the game controller to solve crimes committed by spirits. The eye-tracking technology allows players to experience and control the game in a way they never have before, said project lead Summan Mirza.<\/p>\n<p>The other games to be presented are <em>Ley Lines<\/em> and <em>Sketch Artist<\/em>. In <em>Ley Lines<\/em> players solve puzzles in a ruined temple using powers such as altering gravity, slowing time and shifting space. In <em>Sketch Artist<\/em> players are in the role of a police sketch artist trying to create accurate drawings of outlandish suspects who are accused of often humorous crimes.<\/p>\n<p>This will be the first time the public will see this year&#8217;s games, which the students have been working on for seven months as their master\u2019s thesis. FIEA offers a 16-month master\u2019s degree in interactive entertainment and was recently named the \u00a0No. 1 graduate game-development program in the world by the Princeton Review.<\/p>\n<p>The event is free and will also be livestreamed at FIEA\u2019s YouTube channel at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/ucffiea\">www.youtube.com\/user\/ucffiea<\/a>. The public will also be able to speak to the students and see a gallery of art from the games.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A game that uses the player&#8217;s eyes as a controller and a personal game of war-torn immigrants highlight this year&#8217;s student presentations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"template-twocol.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"lazy_load_responsive_images_disabled":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[5,24,27,29],"tags":[1687],"tu_author":[],"class_list":["post-73497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-colleges","category-science-technology","category-student-life","category-visual-arts","tag-fiea"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>FIEA Students To Debut Four New Games Aug. 5 | UCF News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A game that uses the player&#039;s eyes as a controller and a personal game of war-torn immigrants highlight this year&#039;s student presentations.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/73497-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"FIEA Students To Debut Four New Games Aug. 5\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A game that uses the player&#039;s eyes as a controller and a personal game of war-torn immigrants highlight this year&#039;s student presentations.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/73497-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"University of Central Florida News | UCF Today\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UCF\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-08-02T19:25:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-06-20T13:39:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alina Hernandez\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@UCF\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@UCF\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alina Hernandez\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ucf.edu\\\/news\\\/73497-2\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ucf.edu\\\/news\\\/73497-2\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Alina Hernandez\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ucf.edu\\\/news\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/b1ab2c97f380df56bf95da3a46d526fd\"},\"headline\":\"FIEA Students To Debut Four New Games Aug. 5\",\"datePublished\":\"2016-08-02T19:25:18+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2018-06-20T13:39:28+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ucf.edu\\\/news\\\/73497-2\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":389,\"commentCount\":0,\"keywords\":[\"FIEA\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Colleges &amp;
